Prospective students should visit the school before applying, preferably when school is in session (see Calendar). A current student will give you a tour and answer your questions (while parents visit with the admissions director), and you can visit classes and join in community meals and work. If you would like to spend the night, we can arrange for you to be hosted. Your written application will include a set of "queries," open-ended questions for reflection which help you think about what life at TMS would be like, and help us get to know you. Then we ask you to return for an interview with a committee of students and faculty. (For applicants from distant states and abroad, we can make special arrangements for interviews.) The first step is to request information or contact us and ask to set up a visit. One of the faculty who handles admissions will then get in touch with you.
